ROBREDO SEEKS SYMPATHY OVER MARAWI CRISIS - NewspaperPH

Vice President Leni Robredo urged the public not to be afraid and to stand their ground as fighting went on in Marawi City, which came under siege from terrorist groups that have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Robredo expressed full trust that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) would be able to resolve the situation soon. No official martial law proclamation has been released since. Based on Abella's initial statement, martial law will be in effect in Mindanao for 60 days, but Duterte also said that it may last for "a year," if necessary.
